Think you missed a Moment? Check out

Yeah, I know.. a rip off from Craiggers - but his show is pretty much sucking right now (should have stayed with The Daily Show), so I don't feel nearly as bad as I would normally for stealing his stuff.  I think I could do a better job with it anyway. 

So here it is, my words of wisdom to take you through your day (or couple of days as you will cut me some slack on how often I update this).  You can even ask a specific question to me (via email - not icq) if you want some specific "wisdom" from me. 
Here is some non specific wisdom: 

So you just knew I had to comment on the "Surprise Wedding" after seeing all the promos of innocent bystanding men getting ambushed and caught off guard much like any other "when animals attack" show. I saw this as a talk show with a bigger audience, better sound and more sequins. It's even better as there won't be some underaged white trash trailer mom readily available to shout out her commentary in the middle of it.

What I was grasping to understand is - What woman is willing to embarrass herself in front of millions by demanding her guy (who probably was tricked there with a six pack of beer and and an all you can eat buffet) demean himself by letting his fear get the best of him and stammer out a "yes I will give up my penis now" statement in front of millions to a girl who is essentially begging (and very badly at it, mind you) for this pathetic waste of a man?

I was rooting for these girls (well maybe feeling sorry for them is the phrase I am looking for and can't stand to see a depressed bride), but at the same time I wanted them to fall flat on their asses for being the self assuming bitches they were for using stage fright as a way of getting their men to commit. Like I'm sure they weren't considering the fact that divorce is legal in this country and can be a ascertained in a matter of days in other countries (namely Mexico).

Do I seem to be taking the man's side? Yes, because if it's truly something the man wanted, it would have happened. These ladies should have given them an ultimatum about marriage a week before this show was taped. Of course the guys would have been saying a very courageous no in the comfort of their own home. Then, after their mates had left them for a week to fend for themselves - they would all be but overjoyed to say yes - even if it was a completely different lady asking them. Men are like that. They take things for granted and then when there aren't any clean towels left, the bathtub is full of mold and dirty dishes and they stop to consider why that is.... they start getting emotional, but not for the reasons that women think. They start becoming aware that the maid that they once had wants a piece of jewelry and a signature to come back.

These women are all about playing on one drunken moment where their guy actually said the words "I love you" or displays his lack of looking for another good lay (or any lay for that matter) which led up to the surprise wedding on a Las Vegas stage. These guys had absolutely no idea that they were going to be proposed to. They looked like they had been hit in the head with a shovel... this is good TV in my book. Unfortunately all the men said yes (after a very painful pause) and now I think this show will be a repeat performance for more desperate women approaching the age of 30 and their only goal of a wedding (wedding, not marriage) with the first man that has all their teeth has yet to be fulfilled. Oh joy.

So if you can't tell, I am sorely disappointed with the outcome of the show. I wanted to see brides run away in anguish as a Jerry Springer look-a-like tries to console and persuade her to come back on stage -only to be ridiculed by the masses (including the other brides) for thinking this cheap trick would work on a guy motivated by beer. I am really hoping that the news comes out in a month with all those "I was liquered up before I got on stage and was married under duress" excuses from these poor guys.

Wow, that really sounded down on men. Sorry about that. I have hottie art teacher on the brain (smirk).

 

and -speaking of art - here is the latest I have drawn (and no it's not a self portrait)
